Cot to match birch IKEA furniture?!

Ivoryapril · Nov 28th, 2009, 17:30 PM

Hi ladies, i've been astounded at how helpful you all when it comes to shopping! So i need help with this one - we have lots of birch (light, creamy wood effect) furniture from IKEA and we cant afford to replace it so trying to find a cot that will match. I've shopped around and cant tell the real colour of things online. There are hardly any models up the shops to compare a swatch with! Loads of the ones that claim to be beech look like pine to me on the computer! Can anyone help? IKEA do a couple of birch cots but theyre very simple looking - does anyone have one that could post a pic of it all dressed up? Thanks ladies!! x

Hey hun,
We bought the baby start cot from argos. It's VERY basic but it's beech. A friend gave us her mamas and papas furniture with junior bed so we only needed a basic cot. Tried and failed to find a maple one to match the furniture but the beech one matches just fine. X

Hey we bought the Ikea Sniglar nursery range which we have been really really pleaed with. It was cheap but when put together is fantastic quality. Looks beachy to me but i can't be sure

Thought I'd post anyway because i'd defo recommend it. Good luck in finding something! xx

I have the mama's and papas amelia in natural and it matches the beech stuff from IKEA reasonably well.I'm just missing some beech drawers for bubs but IKEA don't make them anymore

I have the mamas and papas amelia too
I got some ikea furniture to go with it, its a perfect match but I'm sure ikea describe it as 'birch'. It was the anneboda (or something like that) wardrobe and chest of drawers if that helps.
